Edo Flood Challenge: Deception By Obaseki

EDO FLOOD CHALLENGE: EMPEROR JARRETT TENEBE UNCOVERS OBASEKI'S $150MILLION EROSION CONTROL DECEPTION Henry J The EDO FLOOD CHALLENGE, initiated by Edo APC State Chairman, Emperor Jarret Tenebe, has sparked a statewide response as residents share their experiences and challenges faced due to flooding. This comes after Tenebe's recent return from the United States, where he accompanied Senator Monday Okpebholo, the APC gubernatorial candidate, on a diaspora tour to Maryland and New York City.Analysis around the flooded zones reveals a stark reality. Despite allocating $150 million for erosion control, the PDP-led government under Governor Obaseki has failed to address the issue, leaving residents to suffer the consequences. The recent flooding has displaced families, destroyed properties, and disrupted livelihoods, exposing the government's negligence over the past eight years.Residents' testimonies paint a heartbreaking picture. "We've lost count of the number of times our homes have been flooded," said Mrs. Osazuwa from Ikpoba-Okha. "The government's inaction has made us feel abandoned and helpless." Mr. Omoregie, a business owner, shared his frustration, "Flooding has destroyed my shop and goods multiple times. The lack of proper drainage and infrastructure has made it impossible for me to operate effectively."The EDO FLOOD CHALLENGE has also highlighted the health risks associated with flooding, as residents report cases of waterborne diseases and mosquito-borne illnesses. "My child contracted malaria after playing in the floodwaters," said Mrs. Iyoha. "It's heartbreaking to see our children suffer due to the government's negligence."Emperor Jarret Tenebe emphasized, "We understand the gravity of the situation and the immense suffering of our people. We will continue to amplify their voices and push for accountability from the PDP-led government."As the people of Edo State continue to share their stories, it is clear that change is imperative. The EDO FLOOD CHALLENGE serves as a call to action, urging citizens to demand accountability from their leaders and support candidates who prioritize their needs. With the September 21st election approaching, the people of Edo State must choose a leader who will address the flood challenges and ensure a better future for all. Senator Monday Okpebholo, with his commitment to the people's needs, stands out as the best candidate for the task.
